Moondust
Ed Frost is testing his brand new telescope on the nearby hills when he spots a shadowy figure. Unusually, the stranger stops walking, leaves something behind and returns the way he came. Ed and his best friend Bertie investigate. They struggle but finally find an old sack. Inside are two terrified Welsh terrier pups, left for dead. Ed names one Moondust and the other Meteor. Moondust soon becomes a much loved member of the family, while Meteor's life hangs in the balance. By chance, Ed spots an advert for puppies in the local newspaper. He phones the number on the advert, pretending to be interested in buying a pup. The pups are being sold at a local farm. Ed and Bertie go to the farm on a spying mission. On the way they meet an old foe. He has been upset by his older brother who is renting the farm and selling the puppies in a heartless money-making business. The boys make an unexpected friendship and when they arrive to spy at the farm they are disgusted by what they see - bedraggled underfed pups, kept in dirty and cramped conditions - a cruel death camp for dogs. A courageous and daring race for life begins. Can they rescue the pups and bring the sinister operator to justice?

About the Author
I'm a Primary teacher in a flourishing Pre-Prep school in Hampshire, UK. It's a joy and a privilege to teach (over 20 years experience) and is where I've gained an appreciation and love for children's books and stories. I was brought up in Cardiff and my two claims to fame are attending the same school as Gareth Bale and having a drink with Lennox Lewis in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I'm a Christian, married to Jifelane - the most wonderful woman in the world. She's from Mindanao in the Philippines and we met online! I'm a proud dad to two beautiful children, Isaac and Hannah. I'm much travelled, play guitar, write songs and enjoy fishing on a warm Spring or Summer day. I've stumbled into writing late in life but have enjoyed every moment of the journey, so far. The seeds for writing a book were sown back in 2010 in a conversation I had with friends in Xian, China. Five years down the line, I'm as confident as I can be of being ready to publish my first story 'Moondust' as an eBook and via Create Space. I've started a blog called 'rollercoasterstories' on WordPress. I look forward to comments, feedback and above all, to making new 'e-friends' who love children's stories just as much as me.
